About Nasia

I am an ordinary working woman, who lives a simple life, accepts the gifts of life even if they aren't pretty, takes what is given and gives what is taken, loves and cares deeply, speaks kindly, becomes useful when and where is possible, tries to grow through life and not go through it, leaving the rest to God.

Nasia purchased this apartment in 2011

Why Nasia chose Karavomylos

I bought my property in 2011 because I believe its one of the most beautiful areas of Kefalonia

I feel it is the designated place for someone who would like to find serenity, relaxation and enjoyment.

Fabulous Apartment

This apartment has everything you need. The setting is perfect with sea views, which was great to have breakfast on balcony and then a sun downer in the evening. We even had a little portable BBQ which we took down to the beach and had a BBQ. There is a Taverna about 100m from apartment but it was not to our liking, very much catered for tour groups, quick fast food put in the microwave but good to go and sit on the shores and have a drink. However do try the bakery on the main road, devine! The town of Sami and Agia Efimia are very close and have a good selection of restaurants. Highly recommend this apartment. We were met by Nick and Sarah who showed us the apartment and we were pleasantly surprised at the lovely touches that were left, i.e. bread, jam, tea, coffee and a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge. Thank you.

Excellent Stay at Niovi

We loved the apartment, the pool and closeness to the water. We arrived late (around 11:30 pm) and were met outside by Nick and Sarah who immediately made us welcome and showed us around the accommodation. The apartment is very clean, very well equipped and included a welcome pack with a bottle of wine for weary travellers. We have no hesitation in saying that Niovi is probably the best apartment in which we have stayed over the years.

The local area is quiet with two tavernas very close. One of the tavernas had tables within 2 feet of the sea. Food was very good, as were all tavernas and restaurants we visited during our stay.

With a car we were able to visit some lovely places including Assos, Fiskardo, Agia Efimia, plus Myrtos and Antisamos beaches. We rented a Yellow Boat for the day at Agia Efimia to visit several coves along the coast and while they were not deserted there were very few people around. This was a great day playing sailors and swimming in almost exclusive coves.

All in all a great time was had in Kefalonia – many thanks to Nick, Sarah and Nasia.

Little corner of paradise

We had a fantastically relaxing holiday in this lovely one bedroom apartment in Karavomylos.

Excellent directions were provided from the airport and we were met on arrival by Nick and Sarah who showed us to our apartment and gave us all the information we would need for an enjoyable stay. Both hosts were friendly and professional throughout our stay, always available to help with any problems and advise on local shops, tavernas and walks.

The apartment was spotlessly clean and had a really homely feel and the welcome pack provided a great start to our holiday. There was a large, well furnished terrace overlooking the lovely pool and the sea beyond. We could catch the morning sun, enjoy the shade later in the day and have an evening drink to the sound of the waves.

We visited two local tavernas which were both excellent but a real bonus for us was the easy 20 minute walk along a car free coastal path to Sami where there was a larger choice of tavernas and shops.

We particularly liked Mermaid, Faros and Karnagio tavernas but did not have a poor meal anywhere and excellent value between 30 and 40 euros for two including starters, mains, wine, water and coffees. Most places offered a few dessert or complementary drink.

We would recommend apartment to people looking for a high standard of accommodation in peaceful surroundings but close to excellent amenities.

Thank you once again. We had a super holiday.

You have been excellent guests and we will be happy to have you again, hopefully not in the very distant future.

Wonderful apartment

What a wonderful place to stay, the apartment was fantastic has everything you need for a relaxing break and so ideally situated. The local taverna is on the door step almost with a breath taking view from their beach side tables. The view from the apartment is amazing. We enjoyed daily strolls into Sami along the beach , great little town with a wide choice of tavernas , wouldn't suit younger people waning more night life but for us it was perfect. Nice to have helpful people in Nick and Sarah in the door step. Lovely communication with the owner, all in all just an excellent break....we'll be back! X

Wonderful Apartment!

What an amazing experience!! We stayed at Niovi for 10 days in early August and didn't want to leave! This beautiful apartment has everything you could ask for and more. From the spotlessly clean pool, to it's perfectly peaceful location, Niovi helped make our first trip to Kefalonia absolutely wonderful. We hired a car for the whole trip and it was definitely worth it, allowing us to explore the incredible beaches all over the island. We also enjoyed the local taverna for relaxing in the early evening, as well as dinners out in nearby Sami.

A big thank you to Nasia, Nick & Sarah for the fantastic experience, we'll definitely be planning a return trip soon. Couldn't recommend it more!

Owner's Response: Thank you Rachel and Nicky for your kind words and the high rating of Niovi. Nothing makes me happier than having guests as pleased and satisfied as you are. It will be a pleasure to have you again as my guests in the future.

niovi apartment

The house managers at Niovi house Nick and Sarah were excellent, the apartment was very good, beautiful views, very relaxing.

The only complaint we would have would be the bed, as the mattress was lower than the sides of the bed which was wood, getting in and out was a problem as you tended to catch yourself on the sides, I have the bruises to prove it, simple answer raise the mattress.

Everything else perfect.

Owner's Response: My sincere thanks to Kath for her reviews and high rating. It is unfortunate that she hasn't mentioned anything to the house managers during her stay in Niovi about the discomfort she was having with the mattress, which could have been adjusted to her desire and avoid this way, the mentioned "bruises", since the mattress and the bed are brand new, and there were no complains, whatsoever, by any other guests.
At any case, my apologies to Kath.
